HandyPro Franchise Cost, Revenue and Closure Rate
HandyPro is one of the franchises we compare in our handyman guide. Here is what it costs to open, what it charges every month, what its franchisees report taking in, and how many outlets closed in a year.
Where these numbers come from
We couldn't get HandyPro's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), so the figures come from the sources named next to each number. Check them against the FDD before you rely on them. Revenue figures are sales as the brand reports them, before royalties and costs. They are not profit, and not a promise of what you would earn.

What franchisees report taking in (FDD Item 19)
We couldn't check Item 19: no FDD for this brand was on file in Minnesota CARDS when we looked, so the figures above come from Entrepreneur's franchise directory.
Outlets and closures (FDD Item 20)
We don't have Item 20 outlet counts for HandyPro on file yet.
